My cousin Xue Lu heard about Chu's borrowing of horses from somewhere, and he reprimanded Chu severely. Chu was naturally not convinced. It had been so long since Xue Lu came back from Xizhou without promotion or reward.
They didn't even go hunting together. In the past, the Xue family's relatives led them, but now they all turned to the second room... This Lu Sanniang was lukewarm to her again, and she was a joke to others. This is called Chu
How can I be so willing in my heart?
Mrs. Chu was angry and immediately asked someone to send the horse back. Out of sight, out of mind!
But the horse was not the same as when it went away. When it was brought back, it was beaten half to death by a whip and was covered in blood. When people came near, it couldn't stop neighing... Azhen didn't even have the guts to take a second look at Qingrong.
After hearing this, I couldn't bear it.
Although it is a livestock, it cannot help itself, but it has to endure such hardships in vain... Qingrong shook her head and asked Azhen to find a better doctor to heal the horse's injuries so that he could be healthy.
After Mrs. Lu heard about it, she was also worried about the quarrel between Qingrong and Dafang. Although this matter was not Qingrong's fault, she was the elder and Qingrong was the youngest. She had to persuade Qingrong to take a step back and talk to Chu.
Mrs. Qingrong expressed her kindness. Although Qingrong had some complaints in her heart, she wanted to save trouble in the future and not to be criticized, so she agreed. Mrs. Lu also asked Mrs. Su to accompany her. Mrs. Su is the eldest daughter-in-law, after all, she represents the second wife, and Mrs. Chu also
Always give some face.
Xue Shao didn't want Qingrong to take this trip at all, "What are you going to do?"
"This is my mother's wish. If I don't go, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Do you still expect your cousin to come in person?"
Xue Shao frowned and said, "I don't care how she treats me, so don't be offended."
Qingrong knew what he meant, smiled, and said with relief: "It's okay, I'm just a little harsh in my words. When people arrive, the etiquette is done. The worst is to leave earlier, so there won't be a fight, right?"
Xue Shao looked at her and said, "Then I will go with you."
Qingrong was funny: "Why are you meddling in the affairs of the woman's family in the back house? Are you not afraid of others gossiping?"
Xue Shao refused and insisted on going with him. He always felt that Qingrong had to go after listening to Lu's words. She must have felt aggrieved. He couldn't do anything, so he just went with her. In fact, Qingrong didn't really take this seriously.
It's just a formality, and everyone can just get by on the surface.
Qingrong couldn't resist him, so she had to follow his wishes and let him go with her.
On the second day, Mrs. Chu knew that Su and Qingrong were coming, but she didn't buy it. She didn't even bring them into her yard, but hosted them in the main room in the backyard. Mrs. Chu didn't have a good face and her tone was bad.
I felt a little bad, thinking that these two people were here to laugh, "Hey, what are you two brothers and sisters doing here?"
Su Shi and Qing Rong looked at each other and forced out a smile, "My cousin's words are true, but they are out of touch."
"Hmph." Mrs. Chu snorted coldly and glanced at Qingrong intentionally or unintentionally, "I don't dare. Now my fourth brother and sister are famous people. Who knows what they are doing in my ruined temple?"
Qingrong's attitude was still gentle, and she asked someone to present the gift, and said with a smile: "What did my cousin say? I got some good materials. I thought my cousin might like it, so I picked it with my sister-in-law..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, "No need! What, do you really think I haven't seen me? Are you showing off to me?"
Both Su and Qingrong were stunned. Qingrong didn't expect Chu's reaction to be so big, but she still explained nicely: "My cousin has misunderstood, and I didn't mean it."
Mrs. Chu raised her voice: "Then what do you mean? Come here to show off your power? Do you want to see my joke?"
Qingrong didn't speak at this time, knowing that Mrs. Chu was in a bad mood, and she was afraid that Mr. Chu would not want to listen to anything she explained.
Mr. Chu became more serious and continued: "Humph! He is just a lieutenant general. My brothers and sisters will not come here to feel proud of me! As for him, he is just a thing that can only show his face and be annoying! I don't know how long he can be arrogant!"
Qingrong had no intention of quarreling, but when she heard her talking about Xue Shao like this, she couldn't bear it any longer. Her expression changed and she said coldly: "Who do you think is annoying?"
She didn't know what Xue Shao had done to deserve such insults!
Mr. Chu sneered, "If it's not Xue Silang, who else?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingrong slapped Chu on the face with a sharp slap, without even changing her expression. With a "pop!", everyone present was stunned.
Mrs. Chu's eyes widened in disbelief, and she shouted: "How dare you hit me! How dare you hit me!" As she said that, she rushed up to fight Qingrong, but how could Ms. Su be a careless person? She grabbed him
Mrs. Chu said loudly: "Sister-in-law, please calm down!"
"Calm down! Didn't you see that this bitch just touched me! Why should you tell me to calm down! Let me go! Do you hear me?"
Qingrong looked cold and said in a cold voice: "Sister-in-law, you'd better watch your mouth. You should know what you shouldn't say."
Mrs. Su saw Qingrong's ruthless energy, which was completely different from the usual gentle and submissive Sanniang. She was so shocked that she was speechless. Seeing Mr. Su not moving, Mrs. Chu shouted outside: "
Come on! Come on! Hold these two down!"
The maids present looked at each other and gathered around to dissuade them, but no one dared to actually step forward and hold Su and Qingrong down.
There was a commotion here, and two brothers, Xue Lu and Xue Lu, were talking in the study. They heard some servants outside making a noise, as if something had happened. Xue Shao was afraid that Qing Rong would suffer a loss here, so he ignored the injuries behind him and rubbed his head.
He stood up, leaving Xue Lu behind, and walked quickly to the main room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Chu's tense aura, and was about to attack Qingrong, but luckily Su stopped him.
Xue Shao stepped forward quickly, pushed Mrs. Chu away, and said while protecting Qingrong behind him, "How can I hit someone!"
He looked at Xue Lu, who was coming from behind and was panting, and said sternly: "Brother, don't stop me yet!" Then he turned around and asked Qingrong in a low voice, "Are you okay?"
Qingrong shook her head, "It's okay."
Mrs. Chu was pushed away by Xue Shao. How often had she been treated like this? She suddenly felt aggrieved and angry. She yelled: "Silang, how dare you push me! Wow, you two are treating me so well."
Let’s take action! You still have rules in your eyes! There are also royal laws!”
Seeing this, Mrs. Su quickly said: "It was clear that my cousin-in-law just insulted Shiro, and my brother and sister were so angry that they took action. This was not intentional! How could my cousin-in-law confuse right and wrong?"
As soon as these words came out, Xue Shao was also stunned. He said nothing, but the arm protecting Qingrong unconsciously increased his strength. It turned out that she hurt others for her own sake?
Mrs. Chu said loudly: "Hmph! Looking at me, I don't know. You are all from the same house, so naturally you help each other. I'm afraid that if the fragrance comes to your place, it will turn into a smell! Besides, did I say something wrong just now?
"
Xue Lu had one head and two heads. He couldn't help it, so he had to say: "Shut up!"
